Abstract: Spot, the chameleon-like leopard star of Put Me in the Zoo, is through with life in the zoo. And with changing his spots, too. Now he's into changing his shape, and he wants to be somebody new! But as Spot soon discovers, it's not easy being as big as an elephant or as tall as a giraffe or as small as a mouse. In fact, sometimes it's easiest just being yourself, as he— and young readers—learn in this cheerful, rhyming Beginner Book about self-acceptance.

Abstract: Back in 1957, Theodor Geisel responded to an article in Life magazine that lamented the use of boring reading primers in schools. Using the pseudonym of "Dr. Seuss" (Seuss was Geisel's middle name) and only two hundred twenty-three words, Geisel created a replacement for those dull primers: "The Cat in the Hat." The instant success of the book prompted Geisel and his wife to found Beginner Books, and Geisel wrote many popular books in this series, including "Hop on Pop, " "Fox in Socks, " and "Green Eggs and Ham." Other favorite titles in this series are "Go, Dog, Go!" and "Are You My Mother?" by P. D. Eastman, "A Fly Went By, " by Mike McClintock, and "Put Me in the Zoo, " by Robert Lopshire. These affordable hardcover books combine large print, easy vocabulary, and large, bright illustrations in stories kids will want to read again and again. Grades 1 - Grades 2.

Abstract: Un racconto aggrappato alla realtà, vissuto alla giornata: la lenta maturazione d'un giovane solo e arrabbiato, avido di conoscere, affamato di parole e di libri. Ragazzo negro, quasi un romanzo di formazione, è l'autobiografia simbolica di Richard Wright, scrittore negro nativo del Mississippi, dapprima sguattero, spazzino, spalatore, poi impiegato alle poste, agente di assicurazioni, disoccupato, infine narratore di brevi racconti pagati pochi dollari a cartella. L'esperienza di vivere nelle cose, scoprire le parole come arma di liberazione: il coraggio di progettare la propria esistenza proiettandola verso il viaggio dell'utopia come scelta d'una fuga che non è più passiva sconfitta.

Abstract: The rooster's crow at dawn wakes up everyone on the farm, including hens, chicks, a mare and her foal, cows, ducks, goats, and pigs.
